Vincent Van Gogh, a legendary Dutch artist, had worked as an art dealer,
teacher, preacher and artist. His career as an artist won him worldwide fame
and recognition. Unfortunately, the glory came too late. He was world-famous
only after his (16) demise.
While working as an art dealer at the age of sixteen, he developed a deep
appreciation for art. He picked up painting only when he was twenty-eight. He
was (17) largely self-taught. His early works displayed (18) insipid colours.
Not long after, Van Gogh was influenced by Japanese art and started to use
(19) vivid colours in his paintings.
His vibrant artwork, however, was not a true reflection of his personal life.
Van Gogh suffered from depression in his mid thirties. His mental condition
became so (20) grave that he severed his left ear in a fit of temper. Two years
later, the artist took his own life and died at the age of thirty-seven.

Learn more about the charities that we support.Theresa Children’s Home
This home, started by several wealthy Europeans in the 1940s, was one of the first homes that was solely for children. Mrs Theresa Burton had arrived in the country with her husband on one of his working trips. They had planned to stay for two months before returning home. However, on one of her trips to the mall, Mrs Burton noticed a group of children dressed in rags foraging through a dustbin. She was horrified to learn that they were eating leftovers tossed out by others. Mrs Burton rounded up three other ladies and they opened their homes to these children. Every day, more children seemed to turn up looking for food and drink. Eventually, Mrs Burton decided to rent a shophouse. She and her husband never returned home. He stayed on to work in the company office in the country while she continued helping needy children. Today, the home occupies a two-storey bungalow in Hill Garden. More than fifty children live in the home and another twenty go to the home every day for food and tuition classes.
Hope and Faith Community Services
This non-profit organization has five branches throughout the country providing a range of free services for the needy. Primary and secondary school-going children can attend tuition classes every weekday afternoon and weekend mornings. There are also free clinics on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the various branches. Free legal consultation is also available. Every Sunday morning, food and drinks are available for free at the various branches. Hope and Faith Community Services hope to reach out to more needy people by providing them with the services that they would otherwise not be able to afford.
WARM Home for the Aged
As the elderly population increases, homes like WARM are in great demand. WARM provides both excellent live-in and day care services. At the moment, there are forty live-in elderly and ten to fifteen elderly who go to the home for therapy sessions in the day. The home needs funds to expand its current building so that it can take in more elderly and increase the range of its day care activities. The home would also like to organize more outings for the elderly who are more mobile, allowing them to lead more enriching and fulfilling lives.

SECTION B: LANGUAGE USE AND COMPREHENSION
Grammar ClozeRead the passage carefully. Choose the most suitable word given in the box and write its letter (A to Q) in each blank. The letters (I) and (O) have been omitted to avoid confusion during marking. Use each word ONCE only.(10 marks)

It is appalling to know that many youngsters think that smoking is “cool”.
(29) pick up smoking because they were pressurized by their
peers. Others simply “copied” their friends’ behaviour. Many of them are naive,
(30) they do not think their habits affect anyone around them
(31) do they worry about the health risks. It is (32)
unfortunate that these youngsters are more concerned about (33)
they impress.
Smoking disturbs and eventually destroys our body system. The chemicals
in a cigarette prevent our body (34) working normally: the carbon
monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen in our body; tar, another harmful substance
in a cigarette, causes cancer; nicotine leads to addiction and increases cholesterol
levels.
The major diseases caused by smoking are coronary diseases, lung cancer,
bronchitis, respiratory diseases and stroke. The link (35) smoking

and lung cancer is especially clear. (36) about the people around
smokers? Children are more likely to have respiratory infections, such as asthma
and bronchitis. The adults will have a higher risk of lung cancer. It seems that
inhaling the smoke coming from a smoker is even worse (37)
smoking the cigarette. So (38) these youngsters truly understand
how smoking affects them and those around them, they will continue to make
uninformed decisions.
EDITING FOR SPELLING AND GRAMMAREach of the underlined words contains either a spelling or grammatical error. Write the correct word in each of the boxes. (12 marks)
Down the street, Eva discerned many aprehenseive looks behind the white

who was coughing badly walked past and everyone dorged him. The outbreak of
Severe Acute Respiratory Syrdrume (SARS) had caused alarm and uneasiness
among the people.
Eva’s neighbour, Wayne, was admitting to the hospital recently. Wayne had
been complaining of a high fever or breathlessness. His syntpoms were the same

COMPREHENSION OPEN-ENDEDRead the passage carefully and answer the questions the follow. (20 marks)
Presenter: Thank you for tuning in to Silver Station. We are pleased to
have invited renowned chiropodist, Dr Lynch, with us today in
Wellness and Me. Good morning, Dr Lynch. Thank you for
coming.
Dr Lynch: Good morning, Bridget.
Presenter: Dr Lynch, we know that a good pair of shoes is vital to protect
our feet, legs and spine especially so when we are doing
exercise. Can you briefly explain what makes a pair of shoes
“suitable”?
Dr Lynch: That’s right, Bridget. A suitable pair of shoes protects our feet.
An unsuitable pair may cause injury or affect our performance.
The consumer must know what the shoes are for. For example,
a pair of basketball or tennis shoes are laterally stable. Running
shoes are more stable for the forward movement of the feet
with more cushioning for the force of the feet. Walking shoes,
however, have stiffer rubber to support the heel.

Presenter: What if the person plays multiple sports? He would have to own
many pairs of shoes then.
Dr Lynch: Yes, indeed. I’d advise him to purchase different shoes to meet
his needs. He would be able to play the sport comfortably too.
Some people buy cross-trainers but these cannot be used for all
sports especially if a person does not play the sports casually.
However, a cross-trainer that is light and with a firm heel and
support could be used by the occasional sports player.
Presenter: Oh, I understand now. What else should one take note of?
Dr Lynch: A person must understand his own feet. A person with high-
arched feet should purchase shoes that are highly cushioned
while one with low-arched feet should purchase shoes that have
better heel control and support.
Presenter: Many of us have heard about trying on shoes at certain times
of the day. Is there any truth to that?
Dr Lynch: Yes, it is advisable to try on shoes towards the end of the day.
The feet have expanded and hence you would most likely get
the right size. If the shoes are to be worn with socks, then wear
a pair of socks when trying out the shoes. Your toes must not
curl to fit the shoes. Professional athletes are more aware of the
types of shoes that fit them. Those who seldom exercise need to
be extra careful when selecting shoes — perhaps taking them
for a test drive before buying them.

Presenter: How do we know when to replace a pair of shoes? Is there such
a thing as an “expiry date” or do we wait until the shoes are
obviously worn out?
Dr Lynch: Regardless of how good the shoes look, there is indeed a
so-called “expiry date”. For shoes that are used regularly for
strenuous exercise such as running, aerobics and tennis, one
should discard them after eight months. Shoes used for light
exercise such as walking can be kept for up to two years. Shoes
that are used occasionally can also be used for a longer period.
The more frequent the shoes are used, the faster they should be
replaced. The reason behind this is wear and tear — the cushion
may not protect as well as before. In the long run, it would hurt
the feet.
Presenter: Thank you, Dr Lynch. You have certainly convinced me to invest
in a good pair of shoes to protect my feet. I’m sure the listeners
share the same view.
Dr Lynch: You’re welcome, Bridget. Every pair of shoes is an investment.
Do not buy shoes haphazardly or on impulse. Good luck on your
next shoe purchase.
